All Shall Love Me and Despair

The IMAX website now has a list of the select IMAX theatres that show The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in HFR (48 fps). Mostly US and Canada, but some international theatres as well (at the very end of the entry).

Also, "Attend an IMAX midnight show of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey to receive this exclusive collector’s series of four character prints (while supplies last)! Check here for a list of participating theatres: http://bit.ly/HobbitIMAX" - from the official The Hobbit Facebook Page. Aren't they gorgeous?

The IMAX we are going to see the midnight screening at is on both lists, so we'll see it in HFR and we should be able to get our hands on the prints, hooray!

Sitting on tenterhooks until AMC Theatres open ticket sales for The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey, which apparently happens at noon EST today.

The confusing thing is that the AMC theatre closest to us which shows the HFR (High Frame Rate, a.k.a. 48 fps) version, lists it as "High Frame Rate IMAX 3D" - but according to TORn's list of theatres that show the HFR 3D version, the IMAX 3D version is NOT in HFR! So here's hoping that the AMC screening we're looking at actually IS in HFR... As some of you know, I'm not overly fond of 3D - though Brave was bearable and didn't give me a headache, as some other 3D movies have in the past - but with the HFR version, I think The Hobbit will be worth it! So I want to make sure that I get to see it the way PJ intended for it to be seen. *fingers crossed*

Also hope the tickets for the midnight screening won't be sold out already by the time we get back from grocery shopping. *toes crossed too, for good measure*

Our craptastic cinema's flyer caught my eye today at the post office, and when I looked at the program for this week I almost keeled over in surprise - they're showing Eastern Promises. In English with subtitles. o_O Guess they noticed the Oscar nominations! I may have to go see it again... :)

And speaking of Viggo. *giggle*

I inquired with Warner Switzerland about Everything is Illuminated, and they promptly replied and said that there's a 99% start date for the French part (though he didn't mention what date) and that in the German part it will probably come out in time for Christmas!!!! OMGYESPLEASESQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!
